iWriter For Newbies: How To Start Writing

I recommended iWriter to some friends and the next question they ask me is how they can start writing.

Writer Type: Standard Writer

For a newbie, he is initially set as " Standard" for Writer Type. It means he or she can only write articles that are under this category. 

For your first five articles, you need to have the following:

• Focus - you are out there to prove you're a good writer so focus on your article and make sure you follow the instructions of your requester.
• Good writing skills - if you are a decent writer, you can earn well in iWriter. Better start showing how good you are from the start
• Patience - You need to wait 40 minutes after submitting your article. Once you get five reviews, you don't have to wait anymore for your next job. 

Let's navigate the homepage of a Standard writer:

Once logged in to iWriter.com, you will see from the upper part of the page the following:

• Home
• Get Content
• Write Content
• About
• FAQ 
• Contact

To start writing, click "Write Content"



Navigate to the page, since you're new, you can only pick article requests for "Standard" Writer Type.

TIP: Since you are just building your reputation, please pick articles who are requested by clients with 65% to 100% approval rating. Sometimes, client won't give a good reason why your article is rejected so better stick to those with good reputations. If you are lucky, you can even receive tips from your client.

To expand the request click the "+" icon. Read the "Special Instructions" and, if you think, you are the right person for the article, click "Write Article" 

While writing your article, make sure that you follow the instructions of the client. Most of them will just reject your article if you did not follow and that's enough reason for them to give you three or worst one-star rating.

You are given limited time to write an article. Make sure you finish your article within the given time. Also, you need to wait for an hour to write your next article if you have less than five reviews. Here's a list of the article length, price and allotted hours:

150-word article ($1.01) - 2 hours
300-word article ($1.62) - 2 hours
400-word article ($2.03) - 3 hours
500-word article ($2.43) - 3 hours
700-word article ($4.03) - 4 hours
1000-word article ($6.08) - 5 hours

In order to be promoted to Elite or Premium Writer, you need to have 30 reviews with an average of 4.4 to 4.6 stars. Once promoted, you will enjoy higher earnings from every article you write. For example, an Elite Writer can earn as much as $24.30 for a 1000-word article.

Also, if your client likes your work, he or she can make a special request so you exclusively write 
for his or her articles. Here's a capture of my first special request:
